Performance Study of the Impact of Security on 802.11ac Networks

Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) are gaining popularity due to the ease of use and ubiquity. Notwithstanding, their inherent characteristics make them more vulnerable to security breaches compared to wired networks. IEEE 802.11ac specification is currently the widely used WLAN standard deployed by most organizations.
